It was released on April 17, 2007 for $4.00 and re-released as an updated package on May 7, 2007 (still for $4.00), as several glitches discovered in the included content had been fixed.

Halo 3 Map Packs

Heroic Map Pack

Heroic Map Pack is the first downloadable content package for Halo 3. It was released on December 11, 2007, retailing at $10.00 (800 Microsoft Points). The pack was made free on March 25 2008, 6 months to the day after Halo 3's release, ready for the release of the Legendary Map Pack. The Pack's maps includes a large Soccer Ball, along with other shiny new items in Forge.

Heroic Map Pack added the following content to Halo 3:

Legendary Map Pack

Legendary Map Pack is the second downloadable content package for Halo 3. It was released on April 15, 2008, retailing at $10.00 (800 Microsoft Points). The pack's maps included Visual Effects filters, which alter the visuals of the game for Custom Games or Machinimas. The pack also included a free Bungie Pro subscription worth 700 Microsoft points. On July 7th, 2008, Bungie Day, the price was lowered in price to 600 Microsoft Points, but the Bungie Pro offer was gone.

Legendary Map Pack added the following content to Halo 3:

Cold Storage

This map was released, on its own, on July 7, 2008, as a free download to commemorate Bungie Day. Unlike the gamerpics which were also available on that day, Cold Storage will remain available and free forever.

Cold Storage adds the following content to Halo 3:

Mythic Map Pack

The third multiplayer map pack will have six new maps (as shown in the new achievements). New Forge objects have been confirmed but not revealed. The title of the map pack was confirmed by Joseph Staten and Frank O'Connor at Comic Con 2008, and by the new achievements. Lukems comfirmed that "The Mythic Map Pack will be made available via Xbox Live Marketplace in early 2009. “Winter,” as they say. As soon as we have more details we will certainly share them." in the 10/10/08 weekly update.

The above maps are coming with the Mythic Map Pack, which will be sold as DLC and also with Halo 3: Recon in Fall 2009. Each of these new unreleased multiplayer maps will also feature a hidden skull, probably like the original campaign. This is noted by reading the descriptions for each of the new achievements named after the levels. Because of the exploration opportunities in Forge, the skulls will most likely be extremely difficult to find on each map. These skulls may have an effect on the campaign being released in Halo 3: Recon just like the skulls in Halo 3. It has been hinted by Bungie that there will be more maps than just Mythic with Halo 3: Recon
